Herein we report 40Ar/39Ar ages, com- Keywords: fl San Pedro – Linzor volcanic chain (SPLVC) positional and isotope data on lavas from the SPLVC that track the in uence of this zone of partial melting on Altiplano-Puna Magma Body (APMB) erupted lavas with geochronological and geochemical data. Ages reported here indicate that SPLVC has evolved Isotopic shift in the last 2 M.y., similar to other volcanoes of the Western Cordillera (e.g. Lascar, Uturuncu, Putana). 87Sr/86Sr Geochronology ratios increase systematically along the chain from a minimum value of 0.7057 in San Pedro dacites to a maxi- mum of 0.7093–0.7095 for the Toconce and Cerro de Leon dacites in the SE. These changes are interpreted to re- flect the increasing interaction of SPLVC parental magmas with partial melt within the APMB eastwards across the chain. The 87Sr/86Sr ratio and an antithetic trend in 143Nd/144Nd is therefore a proxy for the contribution of melt from the APMB beneath this volcanic chain. Similar 87Sr/86Sr increases and 143Nd/144Nd decreases are observed in other transects crossing the boundary of the APMB. Such trends can be recognized from NW to SE between Aucanquilcha, Ollagüe, and Uturuncu volca- noes, and from Lascar volcano to the N-S-trending Putana-Sairecabur-Licancabur volcanic chain to the north. We interpret these isotopic trends as reflecting different degrees of interaction of mafic parental melts with the APMB. High 87Sr/86Sr, and low 143Nd/144Nd reveal zones where the APMB is thicker (~20 km) and more melt-dominated (~25% vol. partial melt) while lower 87Sr/86Sr, and higher 143Nd/144Nd reveal thinner marginal zones of the APMB where lower contents of partial melt (b10% vol) involves reduced interactions. The lowest Sr- isotope ratios, and higher Nd-isotope ratios (where available) occur in magmas erupted outside the APMB (e.g. San Pedro, Lascar and Aucanquilcha volcanoes), indicating a diminished influence of crustal partial melts on pa- rental mafic magmas. These geochemical parameters provide a useful tracer for the extent and significance of crustal partial melt bodies in magma genesis in the Central Andes. © 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. 1.

  • Mitigation of Environmental Extremes As a Possible Indicator of Extended Habitat Sustainability for Lakes on Early Mars
    Invited Paper Mitigation of Environmental Extremes as a Possible Indicator of Extended Habitat Sustainability for Lakes on Early Mars Nathalie A. Cabrol*a, Edmond A. Grina, Andrew N. Hockb aNASA Ames Research Center/SETI Carl Sagan Center, Space Science Division, MS 245-3. Moffett Field, CA 94035- 1000, USA; bUCLA. Dpt. of Earth & Space Sciences. 595 Charles Young Drive East, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1567. ABSTRACT The impact of individual extremes on life, such as UV radiation (UVR), temperatures, and salinity is well documented. However, their combined effect in nature is not well-understood while it is a fundamental issue controlling the evolution of habitat sustainability within individual bodies of water. Environmental variables combine in the Bolivian Altiplano to produce some of the highest, least explored and most poorly understood lakes on Earth. Their physical environment of thin atmosphere, high ultraviolet radiation, high daily temperature amplitude, ice, sulfur-rich volcanism, and hydrothermal springs, combined with the changing climate in the Andes and the rapid loss of aqueous habitat provide parallels to ancient Martian lakes at the Noachian/Hesperian transition 3.7-3.5 Ga ago. Documenting this analogy is one of the focuses of the High-Lakes Project (HLP). The geophysical data we collected on three of them located up to 5,916 m elevation suggests that a combination of extreme factors does not necessarily translate into a harsher environment for life. Large and diverse ecosystems adapt to UVR reaching 200%-216% that of sea level in bodies of water sometimes no deeper than 50 cm, massive seasonal freeze-over, and unpredictable daily evolution of UVR and temperature.

GEOTHERMAL TRAINING PROGRAMME LaGeo S.A. de C.V. GEOTHERMAL ACTIVITY AND DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTH AMERICA: SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE STATUS IN BOLIVIA, CHILE, ECUADOR AND PERU Ingimar G. Haraldsson United Nations University Geothermal Training Programme Orkustofnun, Grensasvegi 9, 108 Reykjavik ICELAND [email protected] ABSTRACT South America holds vast stores of geothermal energy that are largely unexploited. These resources are largely the product of the convergence of the South American tectonic plate and the Nazca plate that has given rise to the Andes mountain chain, with its countless volcanoes. High-temperature geothermal resources in Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador and Peru are mainly associated with the volcanically active regions, although low temperature resources are also found outside them. All of these countries have a history of geothermal exploration, which has been reinvigorated with recent changes in global energy prices and the increased emphasis on renewables to combat global warming. The paper gives an overview of their main regions of geothermal activity and the latest developments in the geothermal sector are reviewed. 1. INTRODUCTION South America has abundant geothermal energy resources. In 1999, the Geothermal Energy Association estimated the continent’s potential for electricity generation from geothermal resources to be in the range of 3,970-8,610 MW, based on available information and assuming the use of technology available at that time (Gawell et al., 1999). Subsequent studies have put the potential much higher, as a preliminary analysis of Chile alone assumes a generation potential of 16,000 MW for at least 50 years from geothermal fluids with temperatures exceeding 150°C, extracted from within a depth of 3,000 m (Lahsen et al., 2010).

  • Appendix A. Supplementary Material to the Manuscript
    Appendix A. Supplementary material to the manuscript: The role of crustal and eruptive processes versus source variations in controlling the oxidation state of iron in Central Andean magmas 1. Continental crust beneath the CVZ Country Rock The basement beneath the sampled portion of the CVZ belongs to the Paleozoic Arequipa- Antofalla terrain – a high temperature metamorphic terrain with abundant granitoid intrusions that formed in response to Paleozoic subduction (Lucassen et al., 2000; Ramos et al., 1986). In Northern Chile and Northwestern Argentina this Paleozoic metamorphic-magmatic basement is largely homogeneous and felsic in composition, consistent with the thick, weak, and felsic properties of the crust beneath the CVZ (Beck et al., 1996; Fig. A.1). Neodymium model ages of exposed Paleozoic metamorphic-magmatic basement and sediments suggest a uniform Proterozoic protolith, itself derived from intrusions and sedimentary rock (Lucassen et al., 2001). AFC Model Parameters Pervasive assimilation of continental crust in the Central Andean ignimbrite magmas is well established (Hildreth and Moorbath, 1988; Klerkx et al., 1977; Fig. A.1) and has been verified by detailed analysis of radiogenic isotopes (e.g. 87Sr/86Sr and 143Nd/144Nd) on specific systems within the CVZ (Kay et al., 2011; Lindsay et al., 2001; Schmitt et al., 2001; Soler et al., 2007). Isotopic results indicate that the CVZ magmas are the result of mixing between a crustal endmember, mainly gneisses and plutonics that have a characteristic crustal signature of high 87Sr/86Sr and low 145Nd/144Nd, and the asthenospheric mantle (low 87Sr/86Sr and high 145Nd/144Nd; Fig. 2). In Figure 2, we model the amount of crustal assimilation required to produce the CVZ magmas that are targeted in this study.

  • Potassic “Adakite” Magmas and Where They Come From: a Mystery Solved? John Clemens Kingston University (London) Long Xiao China University of Geosciences (Wuhan)
    1 Potassic “adakite” magmas and where they come from: a mystery solved? John Clemens Kingston University (London) Long Xiao China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) 2 3 4 . Adakites are volcanic and intrusive igneous rocks with 55 to 65 wt% SiO2, Al2O3 > 15 wt%, K2O/Na2O typically < 0.6, high La/Yb and Sr/Y ratios and strong depletion in Yb, Y, and HFSE. The name is from Adak island in the Alaskan Aleutians (Aleut “adak” = father). They are typically found in island and continental arc settings. Some believe then to be equivalents of Archæan TTG rocks – hence their importance. Their geochemical and isotopic characteristics suggest an origin by partial melting of mafic crust at pressures high enough to stabilise garnet and eliminate plagioclase. 5 . Adakites that occur in arcs have been interpreted as melts of the down-going slab. Thermal models suggest that slab melting should be restricted to young, hot subduction zones. Atherton and Petford (1993) suggested melting of young lower crustal rocks, in the upper plate, as an alternative to slab melting. There is some direct geological evidence for this alternative in some areas. 6 . Late Mesozoic granitoids in eastern China occur over wide areas, and lack either temporal or spatial association with subduction. Apart from their SiO2 contents, some have all the other geochemical attributes of typical subduction-related adakites, including a lack of Eu anomalies in their REE spectra, except that their K2O/Na2O > 0.95. This is possibly an erroneous attribution as “adakitic”. However this occurrence casts doubt on the assumption of a subduction-related origin for all adakitic magmas.
